IDF Eliminates Hamas Terrorists in Gaza, Including Oct. 7 Nir Oz Infiltrator
The IDF announced Monday that a series of strikes eliminated Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza, including a Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Israel on October 7, saying they were rebuilding attack capabilities in violation of the ceasefire.
The IDF announced Monday that four Hamas terrorists were eliminated in a series of strikes in the northern Gaza Strip, among them a Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Israel during the October 7, 2023 massacre.
According to the IDF Spokesperson's Office, the strikes on Saturday eliminated Nabil Hamad, head of a Hamas recruitment department, and Mohannad Nader Mahmoud Dahdouh, a Hamas sniper commander. Two additional terrorists were eliminated in earlier strikes on October 22: Wael Naif Fahmi Muslim, a Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Israel on October 7, 2023, and Arafat Kamal Muhammad Ar'air, a Hamas rocket-array squad commander.
The IDF said the four were advancing terror attacks and working to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities "in systematic violation of the ceasefire."
In a separate statement Monday, the IDF said weekend strikes eliminated two more Nukhba terrorists in Hamas's military wing: Muhammad Kamel Masleh Qadih, who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre and oversaw the preparation and training of Nukhba forces, killed in Khan Younis on Sunday, and Diaa Abd al-Mohsen Muhammad Abu al-Rous, killed in Nuseirat.
On Sunday, the IDF also announced that a Thursday airstrike in Nuseirat killed Ihab Jamil Abu Taqiya, a Hamas terrorist who held at least 13 hostages during the war.
